Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

Xiao Yu increased his attack with fire spells and his speed with wind spells. Coupled with his strong combat experience, he didn't take a level 4 elite seriously at all.

The only downside to this method is that it consumes a lot of energy.

When he dealt with the tomb-guarding general.

Lu Dahai also burned the last shaman to death, and the battle ended easily with a great victory.

"Holy crap, that's outrageous! You're actually this strong!" Lu Dahai was still unable to calm down for a long time.

Zhao Gang and Jiang Xiaoxia are similar.

The two knew that Xiao Yu was very capable, but in the past, he had demonstrated more of his mental fortitude, judgment, intelligence, and simple physical skills.

Less than ten days.

Xiao Yu has become even stronger.

He not only possesses top-notch insight and combat wisdom, but also has two powerful skills, which is enough to make him one of the strongest players.

"A level 4 elite is nothing. If even that can pose a threat, then there's no point in continuing to venture into this Deep Sea Nightmare."

While they were talking.

Put away the spoils.

[You have collected loot: Spirit +25, White Soul Stone +2, White Heroic Spirit Essence +1!]

not bad.

The Tomb Guardian General produced a considerable amount of Soul Stones and Essence, as well as precious White Heroic Spirit Essence, which can further enhance the level cap and potential of Archer Heroic Spirits.

[You have collected loot: Spirit +6, Gray Soulstone +3!]

[You have collected the loot: Spirit +6, Gray Soulstone +2, Ancient Shaman's Bone Staff +1]

I got a piece of equipment.

Xiao Yu immediately took a look.

【Ancient Shaman's Bone Staff】, Gray Medium Grade, Spirit Power +1, Spell Attack +1, Spell Attack Amplification +1%, Durability 10.

This type of magic attack equipment is rarer than ordinary equipment. Although it is a gray-grade medium-quality item, its value is comparable to most high-quality items.

It's a pretty rare find, I guess.

The +1 spell attack increases the base damage by 1 point, while the 1% spell attack increase is not very useful at this stage, since the base value is too low.

Xiao Yu gave the bone staff to Lu Dahai.

This increases the damage of "Spirit Fireball," but it has no effect on "Corrosive Fireball," as the latter's equipment skill will not be amplified by other equipment.

"I can upgrade now!"

Zhao Gang exclaimed with delight.

Xiao Yu nodded: "Then let's level up first before entering the dungeon. Talent skills generally have growth potential; the higher your level, the stronger the 'Holy Shield' will be!"

"yes!"

Lu Dahai and Jiang Xiaxia both showed envy.

In just over an hour, Zhao Gang successfully leveled up to level 4 and became a top-tier player. His energy acquisition efficiency was almost comparable to that of the past day!

Xiao Yu glanced at his energy reserves.

My current vital energy is just over 130.

Sun Tzu needs 300 essence to level up to level 2, and I don't have enough essence right now, not even enough to level up myself.

It's okay.

On the one hand, a level 1 Sun Tzu is actually more than capable of dealing with the demonized King Ping of Chu.

On one hand, this dungeon is a new instance, so the output of essence will be very high. With the Saint's Body buff stacked, it won't be difficult for both myself and Sun Tzu to level up.

That little bit of energy.

First, use it on archers.

Once the nameless archer reaches level 3, their overall strength will significantly improve, thus increasing their efficiency in the future.

Then, proceed to the Nightmare instance.

Efficiency is extremely important!

[Soul Essence - 100!]

Your "Nameless Archer" Heroic Spirit has reached Level 3!

Your "Nameless Archer" has unlocked a new skill, "Assault Arrow"!

Each Heroic Spirit has its own system of abilities.

This will be gradually unlocked as you level up. As a white-tier Heroic Spirit, the Nameless Archer does not have a complete system of Heroic Spirit Skills, but he does have several independent skills.

"Assault Arrow" is a white-quality skill that can be learned and practiced with only 30 spirit points.

That's just enough.

Activate directly.

[Soul Essence - 30!]

You have learned the skill "Assault Arrow" through the "Nameless Archer"!

【Assault Arrow】 Consumes 3 points of Spirit Power to charge up and fire an assault arrow. Armor Penetration Attack +6, Attack Amplification +5%, Range +10%... For each level of cultivation you gain, you can consume an additional 1 point of Spirit Power to increase Armor Penetration Attack by 1 point. Skill cooldown time is 10 seconds... Current skill level is 1, maximum skill level is 3, and it can be upgraded by consuming 50 Spirit Energy.

Impressive skill!

The damage is considered high among white skills.

Xiao Yu possesses a considerable number of skills, but most of them are support-type, which is exactly what he needs—direct attack skills.

With this skill.

Its overall strength has increased significantly.

"Senior, I currently have 200 spirit points. Should I level up the Swordsman Heroic Spirit by one more level?"

Jiang Xiaxia humbly sought advice.

This essence wasn't enough for her to advance from level 3 to level 4, since she didn't have a saintly physique like Xiao Yu, but it was just enough to upgrade her level 2 weaponry to level 3.

"Yes, while level can improve attributes, without a strong enough foundation, having a level is just a flashy but impractical facade."

Xiao Yu nodded in agreement.

"Upgrade the Heroic Spirits first. Although the gray Heroic Spirits are not very strong, their defense is good and they can assist Gangzi in critical moments."

"Okay!"

Jiang Xiaoxia trusted Xiao Yu completely.

Without hesitation, she used all 200 essence points she had painstakingly accumulated over the past few days on the Heroic Spirit, instantly raising its level by 1.

"Great! My level 3 swordsman's health and attributes have increased significantly. With such a heroic spirit protecting me, I'm finally capable of fighting!"

Jiang Xiaxia was very excited.

"Gray Servants are ultimately only for the transitional stage. At this stage, level 3 is about right. You should try to obtain stronger or more suitable Servants."

Xiao Yu suggested, "I recommend that you contract a healing or support-type Heroic Spirit. This way, it will be easier for you to play a role in various teams by matching your talent abilities."

I'll try my best!

Jiang Xiaxia scratched her head.

Obtaining Heroic Spirits is not easy.

She was already quite content to have weapons at her disposal; Zhao Gang and Lu Dahai were both more powerful than her, yet they didn't have any heroic spirits to use!

However, Jiang Xiaxia also realized that she was in an awkward situation. Most of the time, her role in the team was just a "lucky charm"!

I'm not cut out for fighting.

However, the senior's advice was very reliable.

If someone has healing or other support abilities, they can become an indispensable member of the team even without strong combat capabilities.

The group didn't rest for long.

Taking advantage of the buffs of "swift as the wind" and "aggressive as fire" still being active, Xiao Yu immediately led his team to continue attacking the burial mound.

They encountered nine soldiers or shamans along the way.

With his near-abnormal speed and output, Xiao Yu single-handedly eliminated most of them, while the other three worked together to finish off the remaining few.

Another round of good income.

Xiao Yu successfully arrived at the entrance to the ruins of Yingdu before the skill effect disappeared.

Inside the excavated tomb.

There is a blood-stained bronze coffin.

The coffin was completely empty, yet it seemed to connect to another world, emanating some extremely filthy and dark power.

All four people received the notification at the same time.

You have entered the sphere of influence of the deep-sea nightmare "The Ruins of Yingdu". Do you wish to challenge the nightmare?

【whether!】

"Is this the entrance?"

"I never expected this!"

The three were surprised to see the messy and dilapidated tomb and the seemingly ordinary bronze coffin in front of them.

Xiao Yu said, "The deep-sea nightmare is born directly from the deep sea; it does not exist in the objective world."

"Each player can only challenge Nightmare once a day. Once we enter Nightmare, we will be eroded and polluted by the deep sea every minute and every second."

"also."

"Every time I'm attacked."

"It increases pollution regardless of whether it causes harm or not."

"When the pollution in the deep sea reaches a critical point, we will be wiped out in an instant. Therefore, the time limit for dungeon challenges is limited and the margin for error is very low."

"We must kill the mid-level boss in the dungeon within the limited time, while also exploring the dungeon as much as possible to increase our gains and rewards."

That's it!

Everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder this expert is so powerful; he still needs to team up with them. The higher the efficiency, the more he gains.

The group rested for a while.

After mental and physical recovery.

Xiao Yu officially begins the dungeon challenge!

The four felt a sense of oppression and suffocation coming from all directions, as if they were being swept into a dark vortex filled with endless deep-sea murmurs.

next moment.

The vortex dissipated.

The surrounding environment has changed.

The four arrived at a magnificent, resplendent underground palace, yet filled with an aura of decay and decay.

[You have entered the deep-sea nightmare "Ruins of Yingdu". All monsters have +100% HP, all attributes increased by 20%, and drop rate increased by 50%!]

Current pollution level: 0%!

[Please note that the Deep Sea Nightmare will continuously cause pollution; once the pollution level reaches 100%, it will be completely eliminated!]

【…】

Your team has triggered a "Lucky Aura," granting an additional 50% drop rate!
